Deep Thoughts
from the Context

There will always be plenty of things to compute in the detailed affairs
of millions of people doing complicated things.

. . . the overall movement of the Web, a path of return to a home that has been altered by the journey. Paradoxical? No more so than falling in love and becoming more of the person you were wating to be.

. . . those of us who are smart and conserve our energy to do things that entertain ourselves realize the futility of doing more than the bare minimum.....

About Technology: I don't need a microchip to cook, tell time, or track appointments. I do have a nifty little cell phone with alice blue numbers, but it isn't nearly as cool as the chunky, pink plastic rotary dial of my teen years.

JULIUS The computer, though, that's something else. My first 1970s Commodore 64 just sulked on the kitchen table, but I now spend more time with my Dell Inspiron 8200 than with my husband of 34 years.

And that was before my recent religious experience with html. I woke up recently and noticed that the leaves in the Klimt print over my desk were really tiny, perfectly-formed
>>>ANGLE BRACKETS<<<.

About this website: I love this city, its oddities, its rawness. The color of the brick in the 2100 block of St. Paul on a sunny winter day is about as much beauty as a person deserves. Because I'm always looking for images to illustrate lectures on Baltimore history in a course I teach, the topic for this site was a natural.
